Update: Sendai dogs

I’ve received several emails from readers asking for an update on the canine duo found alone and without shelter in the Arahama area of Sendai, Japan. The dogs made headlines Wednesday night when their incredible bond was captured on film by two Japanese reporters. The tearjerker of a video that shows one dog’s unwavering dedication to his injured canine pal went viral shortly after.

According to several news reports, the two dogs’ have indeed been rescued. Although by whom and their current status remains unconfirmed. Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support has been posting regular updates on its Facebook page, including this one: “Many of you have been asking about the YouTube dogs. As far as we know they have been rescued and are safe in Ibaraki. We are still waiting for ‘after’ photos but will let you know as soon as we hear an update on this.”
